1 1 3 The Tortured Poets Department ‒ Taylor Swift ( 1 ) (282,000 (51,000 sales))

2 ** 1 Radical Optimism ‒ Dua Lipa ( 2 ) (83,000 (51,500 sales))

 

From the international forum. She did better than Taylor in sales at least!

 

These Walls also #1 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Billboard chart. :o

17-20 Chart position week 2 in the US

'Falling Forever' is the ONE I fear.... Next single I beg 🙏

03 9,058 Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism

 

#3 and 9k sold in week 2 was a lot better than I expecting considering how much the songs have nosedived on streaming. It must still be pulling some decent physical numbers?

She's basically holding Top 10 almost everywhere on second week, with exception US which it dropped to #19 with 25k sold. Billboard numbers could either be lower or higher but we will find out that on Monday!!!

 

But yeah, she's holding much better than I thought in all honesty.

8 in today's midweek chart update

 

26 Illusion

82 These Walls

99 Training Season

I'm the most casual Dua Lipa fan but I came in here to say I quite liked the album. Houdini remains my absolute favourite, I just love how chunky the whole song is. And it seems to sound better now than it did in Nov! I'm also a fan of FF which apparently isn't everyone's favourite cup of tea.

'Houdini' will go down in history as being a pop masterpiece, that I am sure of.

yeah, not a good second week hold in US...and I don't know what's left in the album to keep it afloat!!!!

End of an Era feat. Sabrina Carpenter should be next :P

Her on 'Whatcha Doin' could be even better!

Tbh a Sabrina collab of any kind right now would garner a lot of interest!

End of an Era needs to be a single

 

 

Drops another 19 to #40 this week on the US chart. I'm not sure what's going on, as her songs are on radio ALL THE TIME. Perhaps re-issue the album with the Barbie song?

The Tidal version of the album has Dance The Night

Only a big new hit for deluxe edition can save this album sadly.

Here we go with the doom and gloom again

 

The album is still top 10 in the UK in week 4 and holding up worldwide with the exception of the US. Radio airplay means nothing in 2024. It's all about TikTok and she never had a viral song this era.

While I agree radio has lost its influence and there’s been no viral hit, I think Sour Candy is right. Nothing has really taken off and a deluxe wouldn’t be a bad idea if not a swift DL4.

All 3 “Radical Optimism” singles are charting on Global Spotify today! Each experienced their highest position or biggest day in around a month.

 

106. “Training Season” (+47) — 1,605,945 (+9.5%)

132. “Houdini” (+66) — 1,517,646 (+15%)

197. “Illusion” (RE) — 1,314,153

 

What is happening :cheeseblock:

In the UK it's held up better than I imagined. I thought it'd go like 1-7-19 but to be #8 in its 4th week isn't bad going!
